Make my heart a vessel

As my hands are open
not knitted in prayer
open at the altar rail
at the base of your cross

Make my heart a vessel
a cup for your love
pour out, fill me
that I too may be poured

Make my heart a vessel
a conduit of your peace
let my lamp be lit
the light complete

Make my heart a vessel
emptied of all else
let me be filled
so I may be spilled
